A GOOD DAY TO BE BLACK & SEXY: Movie Trailer
16.05.12 / Uncategorized / Author: admin / Comments: (0)
Press play on A GOOD DAY TO BE BLACK AND SEXY. A mixed tape of deftly arranged vignettes on Black Love, Sex, and Reciprocity. What you hear may be unrecognizable at first… Neo-realistic intimacy between black people found in rare grooves previously drowned out by the sounds of modern hook-ups and bougie preoccupations, a cacophony of mass-produced beats created with drum machine loops and software. A Good Day to be Black and Sexy is that dusty LP you find in the crates. But as soon as you put the needle to wax, all the forgotten lyrics return to your lips in this dreamy love sonnet to the beautiful and chocolate coated.
The intro track is a prelude into the heavily sensual world of expectations – the rhythm that drives the film. Erotic moments are lullabies that turn into syncopated groves without notice. This record skips, and jumps to the hook of a Millie Jackson remix. An anthem belted out by a minx who knows her limits, but can’t resist testing the boundaries. It’s a song a sistah can roll her neck and snap her fingers to, exuding, at least for the moment, the confidence that every Black woman wished they had underneath the facade.
When the bridge is over, a slow jam slides in- the one from prom night when curfews were extended and hotel rooms were reserved. Back when wistful notions of love were only true when written in diaries and carved on school desks. A sticky interlude eases in and out of the song, and you move a little closer and wrap your arms around to dance tighter, until growing up too fast and maturing too late, causes innocence to be lost too soon. Needle getting closer to the middles leaving the last cut a re-imagined version of masculinity, basketball, and the inability to freely love who you want to love, at the ease that non-Negroes take for granted. Time runs out and so does the tape. Eject

Bird on a Wire (1990): Setting Things Straight
The clip Setting things straight from Bird on a Wire (1990)
Hello?
Yes. Fine. Taking a shower.
I’m coming home tomorrow.
Okay. ‘Bye.
Same guy?
What guy?
Harper. Jeremy III.
Rich boy, redneck asshole. The one you married.
You remember him?
You know I got married?
Yeah. Four months after I disappeared.
That’s pretty quick work for a grieving widow.
Where were you?
You could have waited to find out.
I was lonely.
You were lonely so you married the joke of the campus!
Jerry the Napalm King. How could you do that?
We had it wrong. His family made laundry detergent.
Cornwall Chemicals?
No. Kitchen cleanser.
Don’t kid yourself. They were getting rich off the war.
The war? Was that it? You were dodging the draft?
Or were you too gutless to tell me you didn’t want to marry me?
Are you all right?
Yeah. I just feel a little woozy.
I better call the doctor.
No doctors.
Four Seasons Hotel.
Is this the front desk? Is there a pharmacy?
Yes, certainly.
Please send up gauze pads, tape and hydrogen peroxide.
Right away, Miss Graves.
Thank you.
All right. What’s going on?
